Beyoncé Talks Motherhood, Internet Haters in Vogue

Beyoncé covers Vogue's "power" themed spring fashion issue, which couldn't be more well-timed, because really...who is more powerful than Bey right now? With a killer Super Bowl performance under her belt, a new tour coming up, and an HBO documentary hitting small screens next week, we think it's safe to say Bey's in charge. We are all just her minions.
In her cover story for Vogue, lensed by Patrick Demarchelier, Beyoncé opened up a bit (no pun intended) to writer Jason Gay about what it was like being in labor with Blue Ivy, how she handles negative online commenters, and her body image post-baby. Read on.

On giving birth:

"I felt like when I was having contractions, I envisioned my child pushing through a very heavy door. And I imagined this tiny infant doing all the work, so I couldn’t think about my own pain."

“Right now, after giving birth, I really understand the power of my body. I just feel my body means something completely different. I feel a lot more confident about it. Even being heavier, thinner, whatever. I feel a lot more like a woman. More feminine, more sensual. And no shame.”
